Atlantis is a continent missing, first house civilization, soil bright and golden flown by series peak explosive force. He later lying soundly in basic ocean, with tops mountains towering from mats sea. For some people again, Atlantis more viewed as legends than facts.
Legenda it''built''by Plato, philosopher Greek, as background two dialogue famous. Buildings was later developed its romantikus large through journey centuries. But, there also who considers Atlantis as milestone tangible from beginning civilization. He documented in locations different, but remained at around Ocean Atlantic.
Yet inside almost all free, Atlantis no more than a fable. He never reconciled into historical record anywhere. But,''Nevertheless, geologists and Oceanographer seemed agree that 'something' who resembling continents ever present around Atlantic,''write Charles Berlitz in in his The Mystery of Atlantis, published in 1976.
Suppose too Atlantis only fable, he is fable living till contemporary. More than 5000 books been written about continent who vanished this. ''Atlantis, seemed, remains part from culture us - up we believe or not,''write Berlitz. ''He inspire classics, affect history, even contribute for invention new world.''
Name Atlantis appeared in two dialogue written Plato century 4 Before Masehi (BCE), Timaeus and Critias. Dialog tells of visits Solon into Egypt. At country Solon discover, priests ancient Egypt in Sais ever write notes about existence''an island continent beneath Pillars Hercules''- name primordial for Gibraltar.
Negeri it described as cardiac an empire large and amazing. Inhabitants many, its cities roof gold. He has fleet big and army massive for perform invasion and conquest. Furthermore Plato depicts, country bigger than Libya and Asia combined jadi one. And name is Atlantis.
Island Raksasa in Seberang Mediterranean
MENURUT Plato, Atlantis drowned 9000 years before era. So, approximately 11,600 years ago. In within Critias narrated, earthquake and floods cruel has drown continent only in day overnight. But, since beginning''thesis''Plato already mengutubkan two groups: who believes and who not believe against''discovery''it.
Aristotle, former pupil Plato who lived on 384-322 BC, recorded as one First absolutely believe in the teacher. Strangely, he himself writes about an large island in Ocean Atlantic, which by people Cathaginia called''Antilia''. Century 4 BC, Krantor, disciple Plato others, instead confessed witnessed remainder mast relic Atlantis.
Herodotus historian nationality Greek living century 5 BC, also leaving several manuscript references that taketh existence town mysterious in Atlantic. Although not explicitly mention Atlantis, Herodotus mention name nation having similarity sound with Atlantis, such''Atarantes''and''Atalantes''.
Some writers prominent past, who convinced against truth legends continent these missing, reluctant mention name Atlantis. Lnstead, they call continent with name Poseidonis. This name taken from name Poseidon, Dewa Sea and ruler Atlantis. Plutarch, writer who lived during 46-120 CE, also recounts existence continents sort Atlantis. He call''Saturnia''.
But, from thousands works written about Atlantis, there one which could not must mentioned in every conversation about Atlantis, namely books Atlantis - Myths Of The Antediluvian World works Ignatius Donnelly. If works Plato, Timaeus and Critias, introducing existence Atlantis, book works Donnelly published in 1882 this virtually trigger''movement''searches Atlantis.
Donnelly believe, at past at Atlantic, opposite mouth Sea Mediterranean, truly never there island giant. According Donnelly, descriptions Plato about island altogether not fable, but facts traceable truth through approaches scholarly. Approach is what distinguishes book Donnelly with works about Atlantis preexisting.
Heaven World in Samudra Western
YANG interesting, Donnelly theorized that Atlantis is civilization first owned mankind. Atlantis also which is colonizing powers which teaches civilization throughout coastal and mainland around Atlantic. Not only stop there, Donelly disclose, Atlantis also who transmit civilization into Mediterranean, Caucasus, America North South, even until Baltic and Central Asia.
So, very reasonable if in arguments Donnelly, entire mythology known in Egypt and Peru is embodiment from religion nation Atlantis, namely serve sun. Aksara Phenicia, mother from entire alphabet Europeans, also regarded Donnelly as descendant directly from characters which used residents Atlantis.
Donnelly also refers natural causes to explain phenomena earthquakes and great flood who drowned Atlantis. Example that sinking a mainland extensive ever happened in history, Donnelly match earthquakes who drowned partly Sicily and 2000 square miles mainland in Valley Indus.
Some arguments scientific expressed Donnelly in book proven deprecated, line with discoveries modern science. But, prepositions basic dikemukakannya remained become principle trust seekers and fanatisi Atlantis - folk who believe existence Atlantis. One is similarity legends about a paradise in Ocean Atlantis, that simultaneously live in myth ancient various nations.
They who believe on Atlantis indeed convinced, if continent missing really existed, surely memories about live in minds nations on both sides Atlantic. Apparently, written notes and tales in various nations seemed justifies this belief. Kaum Welsh, ancestor nation English, eg, always pointing''oceans the west''every discuss heaven world.
Kaum Welsh mention Wherein''Avalon''. Bangsa Babylonians also placing heaven world they in''oceans west'', and named''Aralu''. Bangsa ancient Egypt pointed''residence for souls''in a place far west, amidst oceans. Bangsa Egypt mention place with various names:''Aaru''or''Aalu'', or''Amenti''.

BANGSA Celtic, ancestor nation Spain, and the Basque, also had tradition calling that their hometown there in oceans west. Bangsa Gauls in France, mainly tribes in west, got legend that progenitor they come fled from middle oceans west, as result disaster destroying native land.
Tribes ancient in Africa also punya cerita within their tradition who call existence''continents''at west Africa. Tribes Africa mentions nation occupants mainland it as''Atarantes''and''Atlantioi''. While on across others Ocean Atlantic, in Islands Canary, there tribe troglodyte ancient who called themselves''Atalaya''. They too got fable about sinking Atlantis.
Meanwhile, nations Arabs has legends about the''Ad''who musnah destroyed floods which sent Lord as punishment top their sins. Even, according Charles Berlitz, the fanatisi Atlantis believe existence possibility that Adam (Ad-am) not refers first humans, but racial first.
South America and North America, majority Indian tribes got legends who tells that ancestors they is superhuman coming from direction east. Bangsa Aztec, eg, conserve name''Aztlán'', country origin ancestors their, as name tribe. Quetzalcoatl, gods the Aztec and nation Mexico, called male whites full sideburns.
Dewa this, according legend, came into Valley Mexico from middle oceans to teach new civilization. Within scriptures nation Quiche Maya, there story country east, places progenitor the Quiche Maya chance live within heaven ideal''kala the white and blacks live in true peace'', before god Hurakan (Hurricane) angry and send floods into earth.
Trust, or legends, about existence great flood which exterminate civilization also became other reasons many people believe existence Atlantis. Almost entire civilization indeed have legends own about great flood devastating, who leaving fraction survivors to continue life elsewhere.
Pyramid scattered on Central America
DALAM forms slightly different, legends Such alive at nations Babylonians, Persian, Egypt, Greece, Italy, China, India, and almost entire nation Asia. Legenda about floods this even also alive among American Indians. At many tribes Indians, instead alive legend that ancestors they come from east, with ship survivors from floods big.
But no only legends who made arguments Atlantis as origin civilization behavior trusted. Findings archaeological big chance make theory''origin single civilizations''this stronger. Several ancient civilizations proved has resemblance, when lies they so apart. See Just resemblance between pyramid in Egypt and pyramids in hemisphere other Atlantic.
Findings archaeological shows, how Central America proved full with pyramid. Bangsa Toltec, nation Aztecs, nation Teotihuacan, and nation Maya, all have pyramid. Then who built pyramids it? What relationship with pyramid Egypt who form and technologically very similar?
Nations separated distance so far proved has similarities so big. ''In Egypt there pyramid, in Mexico also exist. Sure emerged allegations that both types pyramid originated from same source,''said Dr. Ken Feder, archaeologist on Central Connecticut State University, within''Atlantis Uncovered'', programs specials television BBC, who aired October 28 1999.
Not only that, science also must able explain, why several civilization separate far equally write with hieroglyphs. Also explains, why cultures could has understanding astronomical and religious so like. For Ignatius Donnelly and followers, who believes on origins single civilization, answers question obvious mere.
All prove that Atlantis indeed never really existed. Teori Atlantis This indeed very sensible. And not only laity who believe. Told BBC, Dr. Ken Feder tells that every year, four from five students archaeological di kelasnya believed that Atlantis likely ever existed.
Evidence Baru Terus popping
BUT, general, archeologists renowned now remain looked theory Atlantis as figment. All doubts were begins from revolution happens on science archeology at 1950s. At that decade, discovery technology carbon dating virtually has alter dramatically way archeologists looked relics past.
With carbon dating, for first time archaeologists and scientists can specify age certainly relic archaeological by testing chemicals sample that site. Results research carbon dating proved shows that pyramids separated distance on both sides Atlantic it built during no adjacent.
Archaeologists also found that pyramid Egypt and pyramid Maya built with ways and techniques completely different. As matter forms? The answer - according the archeologists - simple: engineers on two civilization not familiar technology dome to build construction extra high. Bentuk pyramid is construction simplest they knew.
If pyramid could prove truth theory Atlantis Donnelly, how with writings hieroglyphs on culture Maya and ancient Egypt? ''If could read hieroglyphs ancient Egypt, whether you can read any hieroglyphs Maya? The answer: not. Two cultures write that absolutely no symbols and techniques same,''says Dr. Ken Feder.
Whatever evidence and theories advanced archaeologists to relativized theory Atlantis, amount those who believe proved never diminished. New evidence concerning existence Atlantis continues popping. At 1968, eg, Dr. Manson Valentine find ruins which later renowned called''Bimini Road''.
Jalan Bimini is number wall, foundations, roads, and pier hidden in depths, east Bimini Utara. Findings once again causing controversy existence Atlantis became conversation bustling. For scientists opponents theory Atlantis,''Bimini Road''no more than collection reef and rocks sea ordinary.
Prime Minister England Mencari Atlantis
BUT, for those who believe, impossible there rocks sea forming patterns so neat, within scale enormous. Also, whether maybe there collection rocks sea coincidentally has similar forms poles big similar beneath surface? For folk who believe, detects''Bimini Road''is truth prophecy Edgar Cayce.
Edgar Cayce is a psychic origin Virginia, America Seriukat, and researchers phenomena supernatural who died 1945. At his lifetime, Edgar Cayce has conducted hundreds interviews with''faerie''and observations spiritual proving that Atlantis indeed never really existed. Uniknya, on 1940, Edgar Cayce has predicting discovery Jalan Bimini by Dr. Manson Valentine.
''Poseidia will become part Atlantis earliest outcrop. At 1968 most late,''said Edgar Cayce. Paranormal also has mentioned that Poseidia, part westernmost from Atlantis, will appear near Bimini. According Edgar Cayce, section appearing in depths 18,000 feet in Bimini is highest point from continents missing who drowned it.
Like a legend, truth Atlantis probably will always become mystery. Clear, as legends, existence Atlantis has affect many figure major historical. According Charles Berlitz, in The Mystery of Atlantis, Christopher Columbus too affected by legends this. He including tempted seek''Antilia'', AKAs Atlantis, before finally discovered America.
At end century 19, William Gladstone, Prime Minister England on governance Queen Victoria, chance formally requested parliament prepare laws guarantee provision funds for expedition searches Atlantis. However, request Gladstone was rejected largely parliamentarians, which could understand enthusiasm premier this.
Legenda Atlantis proved also sources Nazi ideology. Although rarely revealed, belief Nazis that race Arya is race noblest obviously based on legend Atlantis. In secret documents Nazis written clear that Heinrich Himmler, leader SS, unit elite Nazis, never ask scientists German to prove race Arya is direct descendant from race super occupants Atlanti
